What have they got to do with it?   They do not address the AhS's
point (that the whole din of moser doesn't apply nowadays) at all.
Let's stick to the point: you claim that this pronouncement of the
AHS is different from his other ones in the same vein, because it's
not obviously apologetic and over the top.  I ask you what makes you
find this statement more plausible than his similar statements
that you *admit* are apologetic and not meant to be taken seriously.
How is this statement *less* transparent and over the top than those?

What has the AhS got to do with the SMA?

On the contrary, I'm the only one sticking exactly to the sources,
and not mistranslating and misquoting.
